MPC input plugin is able to manage APEv1 tag. Related sites recommend strongly to use APEv2 tag. Do you plan to implement it in a future build ?
MJ is able to manage ID3v2 tag; I would like to know which v2 version as it seems that there are many version v2 (up to v2.4 or more).
MJ is really a nice program to manage music (I tried dozen of them before).

Hi there,
About APE tags, there really isn't a "v2" yet -- just a bunch of proposed changes by Frank Klemm. I wouldn't worry about it, because if I do change the format, everything will work with both versions of the tags equally well.
And about ID3v2, MJ only supports 2.3 and before for now.
Thanks Michel.

Michel:
I will be adding APE 2.0 support in the next major release of the plugin (2.0). APE 2.0 will be significant for StreamVersion 8, but until then it's just a toy. Don't worry, converting from APE 1.0 to APE 2.0 will be as easy as going from ID3 to APE and vice versa (change one option, and everything is updated the next time you save the tag).

Trelane,
Do you have APEv2 tagging code somewhere? If it exists, it should be in the Monkey's Audio SDK. (and it isn't currently)
Thanks.

The Winamp plugin source contains APE 2.0 tagging source... but it's pretty hard to follow (memory manipulation instead of wrapping the data in a struct or class). I am planning on writing a friendly version from scratch when the time comes.
In the meantime, Frank has posted some information here:

Winamp source is also available on Frank's page:

BTW... Case, Frank Klemm, and Andree Buschmann are in charge of the Winamp plugin.
